The XCF note pad catalog structure must be defined in the active CFRM policy before a program can use the XCF Note Pad Services.

Managing coupling facility resources provides considerations for setting up a CFRM policy. You format the couple data set that will contain the CFRM policy with the IXCLIDSU utility program. You set up your CFRM policy using the administrative data utility (IXCMIAPU), which resides in SYS1.MIGLIB. See Administrative data utility for more information.
